Column It’s all fun and games until reality knocks. And when reality knocks, there are two things involved. Its either you pick yourself up, dust yourself off, get some band aids and do it in the direction it points you or, you close your eyes and pretend that it didn’t hurt at all. This week has been an eye opener to so many things that I have decided to turn a blind eye to everything until I get that cringing intestinal feeling from three aspects in my life that I really didn’t expect so soon. I could never be so grateful for it, because I just realised how foolish I have been.
The one thing I realised, is that there are literally three months left of the year 2016 and my initial thought was ‘yazzaa! KeDecember Boss’ and ‘Swakopmund is die tyd’! But then I thought hol’up man, I had New Year resolutions!? Where did those go? And also, what were they again? How many did I achieve so far? Sadly my answer is so close to zero that I can’t mention it.
I’ve gotten in nothing, but trouble and done nothing, but the opposite of my resolutions. Expect for one! I finally made it to Swakopmund for the first time in my life! Lol... What bliss it was. But that wasn’t even my biggest resolution so I’m still stuck at square one in September. Wuu sheem.
Now that I’ve realised this with still some time (three months) left, I’ve actually sat down and made a new New Year’s resolution list, with the same pledges, but on different paper and a pen that will be set in motion as from today! It’s honestly never too late and you can still achieve some personal life goals if not all.
I hope you take out yours too and work on your accomplishments! I want to have shown you all a learner’s licence before 2017; one of my resolutions for the past three years and it had always been in the first spot, but never gets done. Dear Lord.
